Welcome week pulls a different crowd than a Thursday night in the quad. Each package delivers a fixed number of guest turns every hour, so you can match the setup to the turnout instead of guessing.

See prices, check availability, and book your campus inflatable in minutes with real-time online booking.
Event teams do not book a bounce house. They book a packed quad, a buzzing tailgate, and students who show up and stay. Here is what makes a college event inflatable rental work.
Hundreds of students in one place. An inflatable obstacle course pulls a crowd and keeps the energy up all day.
This is the event students post about. A big inflatable water slide is the moment welcome week or spring fling takes off.
No games to plan. An inflatable obstacle course runs itself and keeps a line of students racing for hours.
We deliver, set it up, and take it down. Your team runs the event while we handle the inflatable. Wet or dry, ready on time.
Students off their phones and into the fun. It is the easiest way to boost turnout at any campus event.
Licensed, insured, and cleaned after every event. You know exactly who is coming to your campus.
No surprises. No fine print. Here’s exactly what’s included when you book Backyard Responders.
Go ahead and compare. Ask any other company if they include all of this โ then call us.

Community First
Zero Hassle. All the Fun.
Pull a big crowd during move-in and welcome week. A giant inflatable obstacle course or water slide turns the quad into the place every new student wants to be.
Fire up the fans before the big game. Inflatables make homecoming, tailgates, and alumni weekends feel like a real celebration on campus.
Philanthropy events, mixers, and Greek week. An inflatable obstacle course or water slide draws students in and keeps your event buzzing all day.
Rec nights, dorm events, RA programs, and end-of-semester bashes. We set up indoors in gyms and rec centers too, wet or dry, all across Central Kentucky.
Tell us your campus, event date, and crowd size. We help match the right inflatable to your event.
Our crew brings it, anchors it safely, and tests everything. Ready to play in about 20 minutes.
Students play, your team runs the event, and we handle pickup afterward. Zero cleanup for you.
